Value peace

Chapter 63

Qi Maosheng's brows frowned even tighter: "What nonsense are you talking about! No matter what, you will be the life of the mistress in the future. Don't let the house be big, and the husband shouldn't be too promising... Then how will I protect you in the future... "Speaking, he also took a deep look at Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan smiled wryly.

Qi Maosheng commented: "I think that Mei Qin is very ordinary..." The tone was disdainful.

Gu Xiyan laughed: "I'm just an ordinary person, and I happen to marry an ordinary person."

Qi Maosheng hummed softly, as if he was very dissatisfied with Gu Xiyan's answer, and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Mei is going to marry the ninth girl of the Jiang family soon..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and waved her hand: "It doesn't matter! There is no Mei Qin, there are others. As long as he is honest and responsible..."

Qi Maosheng was a little stunned: "You, you..."

Gu Xiyan giggled softly, her eyes flickering.

Qi Maosheng's face darkened: "What is your plan?" There was deep worry in his expression.

"Hush!" Gu Xiyan put her index finger between her mouths, her eyes filled with playfulness, "I'll tell you the truth, my mother left me a little savings when she died, and my father didn't even know about the money. I'm going to choose an honest person to marry, and everyone will live their own lives. After a few years, everyone will stop paying attention to me, and we will discuss reconciliation. Of course, I will give him a sum of money at that time... I can bring him Let Duanniang live freely... get up when she wants, eat whatever she wants, go to play wherever she wants..." Her voice gradually became sad.

Such a low requirement is already the instinct of life, but it is like this, it seems that it is difficult to be realistic!
But Qi Maosheng seemed to be frightened by these words, and looked at her blankly: "Heli? Just to get up when he wants to get up, and eat whatever he wants... Are you stupid! You Do you want to be famous..."

Gu Xiyan was depressed and pouted, "If I didn't want to be famous, I would have eloped a long time ago..."

Qi Maosheng's face turned livid: "Elope? You are a lady, how can you say it... Who is that person? You must have been deceived by someone at a young age..."

Gu Xiyan looked at him strangely: "Why are you in a hurry?"

Qi Maosheng froze when he heard the words, and after a while he said with a cold face: "I'm afraid you will be deceived..."

Gu Xiyan sighed: "It's not bad to be deceived, at least there is an opposite. Like me now... I know that Jiang and Zuo are not a good match, but there is no good way... Who I don’t want to be happy, but my situation is different, I’m sure most men in this world won’t get along with me..."

Qi Maosheng suddenly asked: "Miss Gu, how old are you?"

What do you mean?
Qi Maosheng coughed lightly: "Forgive me for being rude..."

"No, no, no." Gu Xiyan hurriedly said, "I, I will be 14 years old this fall..."

Qi Maosheng looked very dignified.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Qi Maosheng was a little embarrassed: "I thought you were seventeen or eight years old..."

Gu Xiyan looked at her chest.

It seems to be more plump...

Qi Maosheng turned his head away, coughed softly again, and said, "I have a nephew who is just 20 years old today. He is the son of my eldest brother, and his education is not bad..."

Is he playing matchmaker for me?
Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng in surprise, a flash of light flashed in her mind, she hurriedly interrupted Qi Maosheng, "Is his name Qi Yuzhi?"

Qi Maosheng was shocked: "How do you know?"

Gu Xiyan said a little proudly: "That day I not only met you in Qixia Temple, but also Qi Yuzhi!"

Qi Maosheng's face became very serious: "Are you sure you saw Qi Yuzhi?"

Gu Xiyan hesitated and said, "That person introduced himself as Qi Yuzhi..."

Qi Maosheng asked anxiously: "Where did he introduce him?"

Gu Xiyan hurriedly told Qi Mao about the situation that day in detail.

Qi Maosheng pondered: "Feng Tianxiang, you said that young man is Feng Tianxiang?"

Gu Xiyan corrected: "It's not a young man, it's a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old!"

Qi Maosheng did not argue with Gu Xiyan, but stared blankly at the floor tiles under his feet in thought.

Gu Xiyan asked cautiously: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Qi Maosheng ignored her.

Gu Xiyan didn't dare to disturb her, and continued to sit quietly with her elbows on, looking at Qi Maosheng.

When Qi Maosheng raised his head, he happened to see Gu Xiyan's worried eyes, and he couldn't help explaining to Gu Xiyan: "I'm not sure, if my guess is correct, that Feng Tianxiang should be Feng Qingyun, the governor of Liang Ting's mansion. My only son, but I have an extra sister..."

Gu Xiyan smiled and said: "Hey, there's nothing to guess about, maybe that girl is Feng Tianxiang's cousin or something, or maybe it's just a daughter of a family friend called 'sister'..."

Qi Maosheng didn't relax because of Gu Xiyan's words, instead he tightly locked his brows again and began to meditate.

Gu Xiyan admired from the bottom of her heart: This guy really has the talent for intelligence work. There is probably no one in Xizhao that he doesn't know... Thinking of this, her heart moved, and she hesitated and whispered: "Master Qi, I, I May I ask you a question?"

Before Qi Maosheng could express anything, Gu Xiyan said seriously: "Is there any example of Xizhao, um, that is, the emperor is still alive, and the concubine asked to live in the prince's domain..."

Qi Maosheng thought for a while, and said: "There have been. During Emperor Jingzong's time, Xianfei Jiang was the daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis Jiang's family. Because of discord with the empress Mi, who was also born in a well-known family, Xizhao 120, Xianfei Since I invited you to leave the palace and go to the domain of my son Prince Qing. There is such a thing, why are you asking this?"

Mie?Surname Mi?
Gu Xiyan made up her mind and said, "Is Emperor Jingzong's empress surnamed Mi? You are right!"

Qi Maosheng didn't say anything, but glanced at her sharply.

Gu Xiyan immediately laughed and said: "No, no, no. I don't doubt your memory, it's just a little unexpected, there are people with the surname Mi."

"The Mi family in Yuedi, Dengzhou, Songping County, used to be known as the number one general in Xizhao," Qi Maosheng said in a deep voice, "Jing Zong was able to ascend the throne at the beginning, thanks to the Mi family. It's just that their family has been thin for nearly a hundred years, and they have transferred from military positions to civilian positions." After the Fang family got involved in politics, they first used the Xiao family in Qingping, Wanzhou, Songping County, the rival of the Mi family, and then used the historians in Wan'an, Yaozhou, Jiangzhong County. The Mi family gradually faded out of people's sight. However, you The Gu family and the Mi family are family friends, and the two families had frequent contacts when they were still in the Wanji Li Dynasty..."

Gu Xiyan only felt her head thump, and she didn't hear clearly what Qi Maosheng said after her voice, Weng Weng.

It took a long time for Gu Xiyan to find Qi Maosheng's voice: "...their family has a son-in-law, who seems to be named Mi Ji, who is promoted in the Maritime Department. He also has some skills, he was re-elected for two terms, and I heard that he was re-elected at the beginning of this year..."

All the blood in Gu Xiyan's body rushed to her head, and there was a buzzing whisper in her ears: "Then, did the Jiang family come out of the palace alone?"

Qi Maosheng said: "Of course. This is a special case. There seemed to be rumors back then that the thirteen princes born to Emperor Jingzong died because of the Mi family. Emperor Jingzong couldn't explain to the Jiang family. It was only when Jiang was agreed to go out of the palace...it's been a long time, and the third prince Xianzong who was born to the Mi family later succeeded Dabao, so I don't know what happened..."

Gu Xiyan's face turned from red to white, and she sat there with dull eyes.

Qi Maosheng saw Gu Xi's sad face, with a sad expression, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng tearfully, not knowing how to speak.

Qi Maosheng hesitated for a moment, and sat on the edge of Gu Xiyan's bed: "What happened? Could it be your sister..."

so smart!
When Gu Xiyan saw this resolute and resolute man in front of her, she couldn't help feeling sad.

If I didn't meet at this time, I'm afraid I would ask him to help me with an idea... But now...

Qi Maosheng looked at her gently, with a friendly expression, like a brother who cared for his sister wholeheartedly.

Gu Xiyan bit her plump lips, and stammered out her doubts about Gu Chaorong.

Qi Maosheng listened quietly, with a concerned look on his face, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two to clarify Gu Xiyan's words.Under his attitude, Gu Xiyan had no worries at all, and expressed all the thoughts in her heart: "...I know she is not simple, but sometimes she deceives herself and others, and has illusions in her heart... People live in the world most afraid of Lonely and helpless, I have always felt this way since I arrived in Shengjing. I have no relatives, no friends, no three aunts and six uncles... If Duanniang hadn't been standing by my side to protect me, I don't know what I would have fallen into. What kind of situation... Even so, sometimes I still have a faint fear in my heart... If I wasn't the one protected by Duanniang, would she still love me as always..."

She spoke softly, with a hint of sadness on her white and quiet face like a pear blossom, as helpless as a fairy trapped in the mortal world.

Qi Maosheng stretched out his hand in mid-air and froze there, struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally it lightly landed on Gu Xiyan's dark black hair.

"So sometimes you want to get married and forget it." Gu Xiyan showed sadness on her face, "You can leave the Gu family in a legitimate way, and you can no longer be swayed by Gu Chaorong..."

"No!" Qi Maosheng said softly, "You think too much. I have heard about your sister. She is more ambitious. If she only wants one child, she can adopt one..."

Gu Xiyan suddenly raised her head: "But my sister, she seems to be incapable of giving birth..."

"It's all secondary." Qi Maosheng's eyes were bright and sharp, "The main thing is the Empress Dowager, she will not allow this to happen. If I guess right, your sister is in a bad situation now, so she Anxious to marry you to someone who can stabilize her power, Xia Guo was broken by Li Chaoyang's rules. From the last years of Emperor Wanji to the current Xizhao Dynasty, the inner palace and the government cannot be separated as clearly as before Now, those noble families are starting to be proud of their daughters being able to marry into the middle palace... In the past, when choosing a queen, they had to be born in the Confucian family as the first choice..." At this point, he glanced at Gu Xiyan sideways, "After all, , your Gu family had produced 21 queens before the Taichu Dynasty..."
